In the 'Battle for Britain' every second counts …. In fact, every second could mean another tourist for Ireland.
Tourism Ireland, hoteliers and other industry representatives from around the island of Ireland have 'invaded' busy railway stations across Britain in the run-up to St Patrick's Day, where they are plying commuters and travellers with great value reasons to visit Ireland this year.
This morning, at Waterloo Station in London, they reached over 13,000 potential visitors in just three and a half hours. That's an impressive one potential holidaymaker contacted every second.

Buoyed by surging demand, Ikea to expand globally
Horse meat found in Ikea's Swedish meatballs February 25, 2013
The world's largest furniture retailer on Wednesday reported revenue of 27.5 billion euro for the 2012 fiscal year, up from 26 billion euro a year earlier. The company does not release quarterly figures.
Ikea Group CEO Mikael Ohlsson said most growth last year was in China, Russia and Poland, closely followed by the United States and Germany.
Ikea said it had "continued lowering prices for customers and further improved product quality."
The Sweden-based company has 338 stores employing some 154,000 people in more than 40 countries. The new outlets will mainly be in Asia.

"Seeking Commonalities: Writing, Literature, and Criticism" Abstract deadline: January 30, 2010full name / name of organization: Wiregrass Conference in English Studies contact email: email@example.com The conference is sponsored by Valdosta State University's English Graduate Student Association. The complexities of literature and language studies can fragment graduate students to the degree that they lose sight of the commonalities among the components of their discipline. This conference seeks to reconnect us to the common allure of language, literature, and the contingent sub-disciplines that likely drew us to this multi-faceted field. We encourage submissions, especially from graduate students, on topics related to the conference theme. Send your 300-word abstracts to Kristy Singletary at email@example.com by Friday, January 30, 2010. Selections will be announced via e-mail by Monday, February 15, 2010.

My entry for the Splice contest held over on DA last year. I believe this critter is comprised of bits of boar, hyena, leopard, lemur, owl, and beetle.
I love your creatures. Love the lighting. Do you have any speed painting videos? I really want to see you in action sometime.
Jul 17th, 2011 ReplyYour terrain has a Georgia O'Keefe quality to it. Has anyone ever told you that? I love the texture and colors of the terrain. What caught my eye, first, though, was the stripped tail. It seems like such a cute and common feature for such a blood sucking, dangerous looking creature.
Feb 15th, 2011 ReplyInteresting observation, no one has ever told me that. Pretty cool, though, thank you! I like his fluffy tail, it gives him a bit more character I think.

Most employers realize that age is not a legal – or valid – reason to terminate an employee. That doesn't stop some companies from trying to circumvent the federal Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) by asking terminated employees to sign waivers that promise never to sue for age discrimination. That's what happened to Robert Fisk, an underground miner for Colorado's Mountain Coal Co. Laying off Fisk, an eight-year employee, in 2009, MCC required him to sign a waiver to …

Imagine that you are terminated from your job. You're in your 60s. You know that it's going to be hard to find new work. You consider filing an age-discrimination complaint. But your employer says that it's just eliminating your position, not discriminating against you because of your age. That means your employer is acting legally, right? Well, maybe not, a federal appeals court ruled last month. In 2011, James Pierson was fired from his job as facilities manager at the …

After trying to unlock my own SPV C600 (ORANGE) and succeding i found out that it was very vague. There were no good step by step guides on how to do this. And so i compiled a little Step By Step guide my self. It consist of 5 simple steps and everything that you will need is included in the attached file. Just read the howtounlock.txt and follow the instructions.
This might work on a C500, not sure can't really test, but you can try it, i think it is similar. I cannot garantie anything though, use it at own risk.
I did not write any programs in the guide, so all credits go out to those peaple not me. I just put it all together.
Worked perfectly on my Orange SPV C600. Fantastic guide and very simple to follow, much appreciated


text: Light Shed on OSHA's Variance Request Process By Roy Maurer 10/4/2012 Permissions The U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has updated its web page on variances—regulatory actions that permit an employer to deviate from the requirements of an OSHA standard under specified conditions—to improve public understanding of the variance approval process and shed light on the agency's decisions on variance requests. Now, the page lists both denied and approved requests and provides information to employers on variance qualification guidelines, the application process and why certain applications are denied. Employers may request a variance for many reasons, including not being able to fully comply on time with a new safety or health standard because of a shortage of personnel, materials or equipment. Employers may request a variance if they prefer to use methods, equipment or facilities that they believe protect workers as well as, or better than, OSHA standards. In these cases, employers have to prove that their proposed methods, conditions, practices, operations or processes provide workplaces that are at least as safe as the workplaces provided by the OSHA standards from which they are seeking the variance. A variance does not provide an outright exemption from a standard, except in cases involving national defense. Variances Rarely Approved The most important new information available to the public is the denied variance requests and reasons for the denials, said Eric Conn, head of the OSHA Practice Group at Epstein, Becker, Green in Washington, D.C. Previously, OSHA provided only information about approved variance cases. Now, the agency offers information about denied applications to illustrate which requirements businesses failed to meet during the variance application process. "I applaud OSHA for this move towards transparency in the variance process, a process that has historically been too much of a black box," Conn told SHRM Online. "However, the data the agency has now made available to industry just confirms what industry already knew, that variances are nearly impossible to obtain." Since the creation of OSHA in 1971, only 29 permanent variances are in effect, while 202 requests have been denied or withdrawn since 1995, demonstrating the difficulty in completing the process and obtaining a variance. "This certainly does not encourage employers to apply for variances in the future," said Mike Billok, a labor and employment law attorney at Bond, Schoeneck & King, based in Albany, N.Y. Conn noted that of the variances that have been granted, virtually all of them relate to the use of a rope-guided hoist system as an acceptable alternative to fully enclosed hoist towers for work on chimneys. "If OSHA were to go ahead and modify [the regulation] to recognize this acceptable practice, the list of acceptable variances would all but disappear, showing even more clearly how little flexibility the agency has afforded employers to equally institute safe and effective work practices as those proscribed by OSHA's standards," he said. Most companies know going in that the chances of obtaining a variance are small, but they are convinced that they cannot comply with the standard, and thus a variance is their only option, Billok told SHRM Online. "But as they go through the application process, many re-examine their assumptions about their equipment, work practices, layout, etc., and find they can comply with the standard, resulting in a withdrawal of their application," Billok said. OSHA's variance web page also provides background on variance rules and additional application instructions. View the site and download OSHA's variance fact sheet (PDF) to learn more about the different types of variances and how to apply. Roy Maurer is an online editor/manager for SHRM.

in Plants
Hi, we have lots of plants and shrubs that we can't identify. We have managed to find out what many of them are but some are still eluding us. They are probably really common and embarassingly easy to identify.. but not to me!
Can anyone help?
Bottom one looks like some kind of azalea to me....or small rhododendron type thing?
The first one looks a bit like Physocarpus -maybe Darts Gold
The middle one is Eleagnus ebbingeii. Lovely scented flowers in autumn
The second one is Elaeagnus x ebbengei. I think Lilylouise is right by saying it's Ph. opulifolius 'Darts gold'.
Is the top one a currant?
like this:http://www.gardeninginfozone.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/redcurrants.jpg
Wow! You lot are clever Looking at more google images of the 1st and 2nd I'd say they are exactly what they are.
As for the 3rd pic, the pink flowered one, the plant is really small, about 18 inches high in total with small flowers about the size of a penny... if that helps.
I don't think its currant blueboots. Think Lilylouise was right.
Time will tell ))
Its flowered. Definately Physocarpus! So pretty
I would say the 3rd one is an azalea. The sudden taller growth out of the top is puzzling. I wonder if it is from the original root stock as opposed to the dwarfing one the plant must have been grafted on.

EIA Storage Ideas For Gas Week Apr 19, 2012
Salt-cavern scrapes this week were quite bullish weather-adjusted and are driving market expectations for quite a low Producing Region (PR), and overall national, build.
Looking at salt scrapes in the PR over the past 3-4 years, gas week 4/19/12 was very tight against our PR temperature proxy - gas week 4/19 is the red boxes on this PR salt scrape/PR temp proxy scatter. So tight was 4/19 in the salt caverns, that the only scatter-plot neighbors gas week 4/19 found on this scatter, exactly every single one, were from Oct 2009. Back when salt caverns were struggling to keep from full and we were in congestion city in the Producing Region.
Back then the prompt future - cash spot spread looked like this. Oct 2009 in the yellow circle.
So - salt caverns are rejecting gas owing to spacing issues - e.g. Egan is some 92% full against 46% full this time last year, reflective of the vast majority of Producing-Region salt caverns. But we didn't get a cash signature in this past gas week that signaled the rejected gas being forced onto the market, as we did in Oct 2009.
So, one of two things happened
- We very conveniently found the demand to clear the salt cavern rejections, all in a week with the some of the lowest notional producing-region demand this year. Dallas averaged 69F for 7-days through gas week 4/19, Houston 73.
- Or, non-visible intrastate storage assets injected, like Clear Lake, which is pretty likely the only storage asset in the US Gas Economy with a huge YoY deficit.
I think we've got good risk for a Producing Region bearish surprise. I'm 37/7/4 East/Producing/West for a +48 Bcf Total.

Chesapeake's Dry Gas Hedging is Now One Giant Short Put on Gas Prices
So, let's see if we're reading this correctly, from CHK's Q3 release...
"At November 3, 2011, the company does not have any open natural gas swaps in place."
Followed with...
"The company currently has the following natural gas written call options in place for 2011 through 2020:" where they detail 16% and 40% of expected production sold in call volumes for 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Anyone with a sophomoric understanding of option trading knows that holding underlier length against short calls nets into a short put.
By selling calls against production, you rent out your upside for a one-off rent payment and maintain 100% of your downside price risk. The former not nearly as worrisome as the latter, given their average strike in 2012 and 2013 of about $6.50.
This strategy works well in a steady-price environment, is less-than-pleasing in a steadily-rising price environment, and is damn near disastrous in a falling-price environment. Generally speaking, a short-call production hedging strategy has all of the costs of swap-hedging (missing participation in price increases above the call strikes) with none of the benefits of swap-hedging (locking in prices in a falling environment) with the singular, one-off unique benefit of collecting premium.
Producers of anything, gas, oil, corn, wheat, lobster tails, do not effectively hedge by morphing their net position into a short-put structure. Proper production-hedging seeks the transfer from company to market of downside pricing risks. Net short put structures are actually best reserved for the hedging of consumption.
The best that can happen here is gas prices rise right to CHK's strikes and McClendon gets to bark about "extracting value" via premium collection. If gas prices fall, CHK has full exposure to that on their dry-gas production, which remained 69% of realized revenues for CHK in Q3.
Perhaps dry-gas production is an afterthought for McClendon and company now; this ill-advised hedging structure certainly suggests it is. That is, an afterthought, until it's not, because if gas prices continue to fall – and we're a warm-November and December away from that – it won't be. If dry-gas prices plunge, this could be the biggest bet CHK has ever made.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.
Additional disclosure: I have never traded CHK, long or short and have no intentions to. -
The Earth has a Circumference; Please let Keynesianism Finally Die.
On any given summer afternoon, in several instances along the tens-of-thousands of miles of oceanic shoreline that help to define the beauty of this country, you can find an 8 year old with a trident commanding the tides to his liking. Dash away, dash away and then come hither tides. His lack of empirical control no match for the power of his imagination.
It was difficult, then, two Wednesdays ago, to differentiate the action of the FOMC to this nation's Neptune Auxiliary.
Quantitative Easing 2, in and of itself, has exactly no chance of working. The psyche of the commercial decision maker cannot be favorably distorted by the mirage; that's why, in aggregate, they're a successful commercial decision maker, they've thus far properly encountered mirages: on net, avoiding them. You are one of two things in this economy: a saver or a borrower. A saver engages the market until his risk aversions (forever present but out of the forefront until they aren't) exceed his estimates for current return. A borrower engages the markets until he can either no longer find opportunities that promise returns higher than their cost or can no longer convince others of his ability to successfully service a loan (all 3 of these things highly deflationary and currently quite evident).
Effortlessly adding a couple of zeros to the end of prime-dealers' and big banks' reserve accounts at the Fed, which are already fantastically-historically high (i.e. blowing previous records by multiples in the thousands), does exactly nothing to change this. Pursuing the stoking of "animal spirits" is identical to seeding clouds. Identical. It shares several attributes with the infamous efforts in Salem, Massachusetts in 1692.
There is one element in every one of our lives and the lives of everyone that has ever lived, that has had a dominatingly perfect win-loss record. Mother Nature. Mother Nature always wins. Always. Attempting to circumnavigate her is categorically ill-fated. You will lose. This is why socialism is 0-X in history. This is why every single piece of legislation has some element of unintended consequence.
Attempting to fully shape the consequences of the business cycle is the apogee of fool-hardiness. We're learning that now, as we encounter the brutal residuals of decades of active central banking. Shakespearian then that we are setting new frontiers of audacity in attempting to fly the wingless plane that is active central banking. This isn't to say rigorous observation and the scientific understanding of the economy isn't without distinct merit, it most certainly is. But taking that understanding and using it to piss into the wind seems difficult to equally qualify.
You cannot control tides. You cannot make horses drink. You cannot usurp mother nature. The world is round and Keynesianism is nothing more than ostensibly well-meaning adults nursing the fantasies often reserved for 8 year olds.
It is not better "to do something in the face of nothing", its best to allow consequence to roll as unimpeeded as possible to the original decision makers, send its signal (which is what its supposed to do), produce its lesson, and clear the market. It's best to grow up.

Martyr Zacchaeus the Deacon of Caesarea in Palestine
The Holy Martyrs Zacchaeus, Deacon of Gadara, and Alphaeus, Reader of Caesarea, suffered under the emperor Diocletian (284-305). Among those arrested during the most fierce persecution against Christians was St Zacchaeus, a deacon of the Gadara church, who openly confessed his faith and did not renounce Christ under torture.
The Diocletian persecution was so fierce that many did not endure, and frightened of the tortures, they agreed to offer sacrifice to the pagan gods. St Alphaeus, a reader of the church of Caesarea, zealous for the glory of God, approached a crowd of those fallen away from Christ on their way to offer pagan sacrifice. He urged them not to defile themselves with the impious sacrifices.
They arrested St Alphaeus and after tortures and torments they shackled him together with St Zacchaeus. They threw the martyrs into prison for the night, where they prayed continually, supporting one another in their resolve to endure all the sufferings for the name of Christ and thereby gain eternal life. The next morning, the holy Martyrs Zacchaeus and Alphaeus were beheaded for confessing Christ.

OBJECTIVE: To determine the prevalence of potential dosing errors of medication dispensed to children for 22 common medications.
STUDY DESIGN: Using automated pharmacy data from 3 health maintenance organizations (HMOs), we randomly selected up to 120 children with a new dispensing prescription for each drug of interest, giving 1933 study subjects. Errors were defined as potential overdoses or potential underdoses. Error rate in 2 HMOs that use paper prescriptions was compared with 1 HMO that uses an electronic prescription writer.
RESULTS: Approximately 15% of children were dispensed a medication with a potential dosing error: 8% were potential overdoses and 7% were potential underdoses. Among children weighing <35 >kg, only 67% of doses were dispensed within recommended dosing ranges, and more than 1% were dispensed at more than twice the recommended maximum dose. Analgesics were most likely to be potentially overdosed (15%), whereas antiepileptics were most likely potentially underdosed (20%). Potential error rates were not lower at the site with an electronic prescription writer.
CONCLUSIONS: Potential medication dosing errors occur frequently in outpatient pediatrics. Studies on the clinical impact of these potential errors and effective error prevention strategies are needed.

Epoprostenol in chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension with distal lesions. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 15554033 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
BACKGROUND: Although patients with primary pulmonary hypertension and patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension with distal lesions may share similar pathophysiological characteristics, scarce information is available on the usefulness of epoprostenol in this form of secondary pulmonary hypertension. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of epoprostenol therapy in surgically untreatable patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. METHODS: Continuous infusive therapy with epoprostenol was undertaken in 16 patients with primary pulmonary hypertension and in 11 surgically untreatable thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension patients. The median follow-up was 12.4 months (range 6-23 months). Patients underwent clinical, echocardiographic and hemodynamic evaluation at baseline and a 6-min walk test every 3 months after beginning epoprostenol; ultrasound evaluations were repeated in a subgroup of patients. RESULTS: Epoprostenol therapy improved the clinical status, exercise tolerance and NYHA functional class. A greater left ventricular end-diastolic volume was recorded at echocardiography in both groups. CONCLUSIONS: Epoprostenol therapy may be feasible, safe and clinically effective in patients with surgically untreatable chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. |

George Soros Addresses a Jewish Audience
George Soros,
a Hungarian-born Jew who escaped the Holocaust by fleeing to London as a child,
is ranked the 28th richest person in the United States (with a fortune valued
at $7 billion) by Forbes magazine. In November 2003, for the first time ever, the billionaire spoke to a Jewish
audience at the conference of the Jewish Funders Network. Many people were dismayed
by his call for "regime change" in the United States, his talk of
funding projects in "Palestine" and the Geneva Accord, and his ideas
about the cause of anti-Semitism.
Soros said European anti-Semitism is the result of the policies of Israel and
the United States. "There is a resurgence of anti-Semitism in Europe.
The policies of the Bush administration and the Sharon administration contribute
to that," Soros said. "If we change that direction, then anti-Semitism
also will diminish," he said. "I can't see how one could confront
it directly."
Soros also said that he has personally contributed to anti-Semitism. Soros
believes that Malaysian prime minister, Mahathir Mohammad, was referring to
people like Soros when he said, "Jews rule the world by proxy."
Soros' projects and funding have influenced governments and promoted various
political causes around the world.
Soros' comments were called "absolutely obscene" by Abraham Foxman,
national director of the Anti-Defamation League.
"Let's understand things clearly: Anti-Semitism is not caused by
Jews; it's caused by anti-Semites," said Elan Steinberg, senior
advisor at the World Jewish Congress. "One can certainly be critical of
Bush policy or Sharon policy, but any deviation from the understanding of the
real cause of anti-Semitism is not merely a disservice, but a historic lie."
In addition to his unhelpful ideas, Soros has given scant money to Jewish causes.
Soros said he has not given much to Jewish or Israel-related causes because
Jews take care of their own, so that his financial clout is better directed

Reduced Pancreatic Fistula Rate Following Pancreaticoduodenectomy: Trial on Pancreaticogastrostomy Versus Pancreaticojejunostomy
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The incidence of complications after pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) is around 50 %. The postoperative course after PD is strongly dependent of the occurrence of pancreatic fistula (POPF), which determines postoperative mortality, length of hospital stay and costs. The incidence of POPF after PD is dependent of its definition, and is reported in up to 20% of patients.
There is disagreement on whether to perform a pancreaticojejunostomy (PJ) or a pancreaticogastrostomy (PG) after PD. The aim of the current randomized controlled trial is to study whether PG significantly reduces the rate of POPF following PD for pancreatic or peri-ampullary tumours. Secondary endpoints are the reduction of overall postoperative complication rate and their severity.

Hide Detailed Description
Detailed Description:
Therapeutic intervention
- Surgeons who have performed a minimum of five (5) PG and PJ procedures can include patients in this randomized trial.
- Any dissection device or technique is allowed.
Pancreatic anastomosis (PG or PJ)
- 1-layer or 2-layer anastomosis is allowed but has to be registered
- mono-filament and/or poly-filament suture material is allowed but has to be registered
- no pancreatic stent will be placed
- Drainage: one (1) or more closed drain(s) with or without suction is allowed in the vicinity of the pancreatic anastomosis
- Enteral tube feeding (tube positioned in the jejunum at the time of surgery, and distal to the pancreatic anastomosis) as well as total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is allowed
- Gastrostomy tube (percutaneous) is allowed
- Somatostatin: start intra-operatively and administered for seven (7) days after surgery at a dose of 6 mg/d
- Prophylactic use of antibiotics during 24h post-operatively
- Prophylactic use of Ranitidine as well as any PPI (proton pump inhibitor) is allowed to prevent peptic ulcer
Clinical evaluation and assessment criteria
- The number and type of POPF will be recorded according to the ISGPF guidelines and based on findings on day 3 (three) after surgery
- The number and type of postoperative complications will be recorded. The therapy-oriented severity grading system (TOSGS) of complications will be used and complications will be allocated to surgical (SSC) and non-surgical site (NSSC) complications
- The adequacy of the surgical resection margins (pR0) and the magnitude of the tumour-free resection margin (millimetres) will be monitored
- Postoperative length of hospital stay (LOS) will be registered
Patient randomization and registration procedure (randomization lists attached)
- This is a multicentric randomized controlled trial.
- Patient randomization will be done intra-operatively since a substantial number of patients could be dropped out intra-operatively because of the presence of unexpected intra-abdominal metastases at the time of surgery.
- Patient stratification will be performed for each centre and will be based on the diameter of the pancreatic duct. A pancreatic duct at the level of the surgical transsection margin measuring 3 millimetres or less in diameter is defined as being a "soft pancreas". A pancreatic duct measuring more than 3 millimetres is defined as a "hard pancreas".
- A prospective registration of following parameters will be performed: intra-operative diameter of the pancreatic duct at the surgical transection margin, diameter of the pancreas at the surgical transection margin, pancreatic tissue consistency assessed by the surgeon: soft vs. hard, post-operative pathology parameters.
Statistical analysis and sample size calculation based on a stratified design
- 40% of patients are expected to have a hard pancreas and 60% a soft pancreas.
- It is assumed that the magnitude of the effect of the intervention (PJ vs. PG) on the POPF rate, expressed as an odds ratio (OR), is similar in both strata.
- The needed sample size is calculated to have 80% power to detect a common odds ratio of 2.7. POPF rates of 12% and 20% are assumed after PJ within the hard and soft pancreas stratum respectively (yielding 4.8% and 8.4% after PG). Note that, given the unequal size strata, this leads to an expected POPF rate of 16.8% after PJ and 7% after PG (≈12% POPF overall).
- A 2-sided (with alpha=5%) Mantel-Haenszel test of OR=1 for stratified 2x2 tables is planned
- 168 patients are required per group (total patient population 336)
- Expected duration of recruitment: 3-4 years
- An interim analysis will be performed annually (i.e. after inclusion of 1/3 and 2/3 of the patients) to to allow early stop of the study (or accrual of patients in a specific treatment group) due to rejection of the null hypothesis. Using the O'Brien-Fleming method (O'Brien and Fleming 1979) results in respectively |3.471|, |2.454| and |2.004| as critical values for the Z-statistic at the three analysis moments. Otherwise stated, p-values are declared significant if <.00052, <0.0141 and <0.0451 at respectively the first interim analysis, the second interim analysis and at the final analysis.
- Exact 95% confidence intervals will be calculated for the POPF and post-operative complication rates within each stratum. A stratified Mann-Whitney U test will be used for the TOSGS grading.
Translational research: optional Prognostic relevance of gene expression profiling in pancreatic cancer: analyses will be performed at UZ.Leuven/KU.Leuven (project coordinator B.Topal)
- Fresh tissue samples from pancreatic cancer and from non-tumoral pancreatic tissue will be stored in RNA-later (samples in 2 separate tubes; 5-10 volumes of RNA-later)
- Sample tubes will be transported (or picked up by the coördinator's research team), within 3 days from sampling, to be stored in -80°C for further analyses

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

Don't think the handle will work with a scope, so ...
How do I get the gas tube off? Looks like it has to come with the BBL, which doesn't make sense! Can I just use a punch on the lock ring by the handle - or do I need the tool? I assume those are RH threads. Thanks |

To remove handle:
1.Remove handguards. 2.Remove gas plug and piston and spring. 3.Use can opener or punch to turn off gas tube nut. (RH threads) 4.Remove handle. Gas tube is short enough to allow gas tube nut to slide forward. |

Woa, Daves. I paid $15 for a tool that prevents you from marring the finish on your gas tube nut. It's the second one on this page:
http://www.dsarms.com/tools.htm Well worth it so you don't ruin the finish on your gun. |

I was just relating the method I have used on my FAL's.
I have found that an old fashioned can opener (the type that punches triangular holes in cans) wraps around the gas nut and the part that fits in the slots is wider than the tools (that I have seen for sale) so it applies pressure on a wider portion of the slot. |

BRUSSELS, Feb. 5 (Xinhua) -- A new round of talks between the world powers and Iran will be held in Almaty, Kazakhstan on February 26, the European Union (EU) announced on Tuesday.
The EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton "hopes that the talks will be productive and concrete progress can be made towards a negotiated solution," said a statement of her office.
This has been the first such meeting between Iran and the so-called P5+1, or the United States, Russia, China, France and Britain plus Germany since a stalemate in talks in Moscow last June.
Iran has decided to take part in the talks, its official IRNA new agency reported. The decision was made in a phone talks between the top Irannian negotiator Saeed Jalili and Ashton earlier in the day.

While most media reports revolve around the high-end CPUs, market reality is that vast majority of volume are lower end products. With an updated price list (PDF Download) Intel yesterday silently introduced a couple of new CPUs, that complement the current Sandy Bridge-based offerings to the lower end. This includes a few new Core i5 and i3 models as well as new offerings under the Pentium brand name. The Pentium brand was retrofitted for entry level desktop CPUs a couple of years ago after the big failure of Pentium 4 and its siblings.
Model | Clock | L3 Cache | Cores/Threads | GFX | TDP | Price |
Core i5-2405S | 2.5GHz | 6MB | 4/4 | HD 3000 | 65W | $205 |
Core i5-2310 | 2.9GHz | 6MB | 4/4 | HD 2000 | 95W | $177 |
Core i3-2105 | 3.1GHz | 3MB | 2/4 | HD 3000 | 65W | $134 |
Pentium G850 | 2.9GHz | 3MB | 2/2 | HD ? | 65W | $86 |
Pentium G840 | 2.8GHz | 3MB | 2/2 | HD ? | 65W | $75 |
Pentium G620 | 2.6GHz | 3MB | 2/2 | HD ? | 65W | $64 |
Pent. G620T | 2.2GHz | 3MB | 2/2 | HD ? | 35W | $70 |
There are a few surprises here. First, Intel adds new variants of their Core i5-2400S and i3-2100 models to their lineup. The new models get their model number incremented by 5 and include the better performing HD 3000 integrated GPU. The previous models feature a HD 2000, where half of the 12 execution units are disabled, castrating already limited graphics performance. This can be attributed to AMD strongly iterating the advantages of its Fusion APUs, which come with very strong GPUs compared to Intel's offerings. Intel is merely trying to shorten the gap, before AMD actually hits the market.
Regarding the Pentium CPUs, they feature a further downgraded version of the Sandy Bridge architecture. While Core i3 already had to give up two physical cores, the turbo and hardware AES instructions but was allowed to retain Hyper-Threading, the Pentium chips are stripped of this feature. Thus they offer two physical CPU cores without any of those features. Clock frequencies are slightly below Core i3 offerings at 2.6-2.9 GHz. There is also a low power model with its clock reduced to 2.2GHz running at only 35W TDP, which will make a nice HTPC chip.
The Pentium processors are meant to be bundled with Cougar Point-based H61 chipset, which features a reduced number of PCI-Express lanes, USB and SATA ports. Also Rapid Storage Technology is not supported, which allows to form disk arrays. However, assuming that vendors supply BIOS updates, these CPUs should run on any socket 1155 motherboard capable of running more expensive Sandy Bridge CPUs.
Pentium and Celeron processors with Sandy Bridge Architecture won't carry advanced graphics features
At press time, the CPUs weren't yet added to Intel's online ARK CPU database. Thus we couldn't determine the supported instruction sets as well as the exact specification of the integrated GPU of the Pentium chips. In some leaked slide it was just labeled "HD Graphics", so this is what we will run for now. The instruction sets supported should be the same as for Core i3 though, but you never know as previous generation Pentium G6900 chips lacked SSE4.2 for example. Another feature where the products could be differentiated is memory support. Pentium G6900 only supported DDR3-1066, while previous generation Core i3 and up also supported DDR3-1333.
Update on March 25, 2011 at 16:53 GMT: We got informed by Intel, that the integrated GPU doesn't get a number attached for Pentium and future Celeron CPUs based on the Sandy Bridge architecture. It will simply be called "Intel HD Graphics". As for features, it lacks Quick Sync Video ? the hardware video encoder, InTru 3D, Clear Video HD. Also both the Pentium and future Celeron lines of Sandy Bridge come with their AVX support disabled.

Mello Yello is a high-caffeinated, citrus-flavored soft drink produced and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company which was introduced on March 1, 1979 to compete with PepsiCo's Mountain Dew.[2]
Mello Yello was withdrawn from Australia in the early 1990s, being replaced with the similar but uncaffeinated Lift.[3]
There have been three flavored variants of Mello Yello in North America. Mello Yello Cherry was released in response to Mountain Dew Code Red. The other two variants were Mello Yello Afterglow (peach-flavored) and Mello Yello Melon. All three were only available for a limited time. Mello Yello Cherry is available at Coca-Cola Freestyle machines.
In early 2010, Coca-Cola announced new images of new packaging that it would be re-branding Mello Yello to resemble the packaging in 1979. This re-branding has included an expanded distribution of the product, into such areas of the United States that have not had the product in years such as the Northeastern United States and the Western United States. In 2011, Mello Yello began to replace Vault on Coca-Cola Freestyle machines.
Mello Yello was featured in the 1990 NASCAR-based movie Days of Thunder, in which Tom Cruise's character, Cole Trickle, drove a Mello Yello-sponsored car to victory in the Daytona 500, although the product name itself is never verbally mentioned in the movie. That livery went on to become a real NASCAR paint scheme the following year, when driver Kyle Petty drove with Mello Yello sponsorship in the Winston Cup Series. He ran four seasons (1991–1994) with the sponsor before switching over to Coors Light in 1995. Mello Yello was seen as a sponsor on die-cast toy and collectible cars for both the Days of Thunder #51 Chevrolet Lumina and Kyle Petty's #42 Pontiac Grand Prix. Mello Yello also sponsored the fall Winston Cup race at Charlotte Motor Speedway through 1994.
Mello Yello was also advertised in the Ernest commercials in which he coined the beverage's official slogan "Make The Mello Yello Move", followed by his trademark phrase, "Knowhutimean?"
In 1982, arcade manufacturer Gottlieb created but never released an edition of their successful arcade game Q*Bert with Mello Yello livery in-play as well as proposed cabinet artwork. The game has been preserved and is playable on the MAME arcade emulator.[4]
In 2011, Mello Yello relaunched its ad campaign. The commercial featured cartoon adults who boarded a boat and made a band, singing "Mellow Yellow".
Coca-Cola announced on August 29, 2012, that they had extended their sponsorship of the National Hot Rod Association's Professional Drag Racing Series, with Mello Yello replacing Full Throttle Energy Drink as the title sponsor of the series beginning in 2013.[5]
International relaunches[edit]
In October 2006, after pressure from Vilasa Chandra Izquierdo, Mello Yello was relaunched in New Zealand as a 'limited edition' product after a long absence, of at least 15 years, from the local market. The relaunched New Zealand version contained the original 1980s logo, and just like when it was available in the 1980s even contained the words A Product of the Coca-Cola Company on the bottle top. This 'limited edition' release was only available in 600 ml and 1.5 litre plastic bottles and contained the words Limited Edition. Only 200,000 cases of the promo product were produced in 2006 according to Coca Cola. Mello Yello was once again relaunched to the New Zealand market in October 2007 and was available until the end of 2007. It has now been relaunched in New Zealand again as 'limited edition' for the summer months.
In late June 2011, Mello Yello was relaunched in Japan. Packaging in Japan carries a 'Smooth Taste Smooth Times' slogan and a 'Since 1983' badge on the side of cans and bottles. In Australia, the Mello Yello brand has returned during the 2012–2013 summer, with a 1980s era logo being used. In small type, the packaging says, "Mello Yello presented by Lift"; however, the contents are not Lift. Lift is also available in 1990s-themed packaging. This Mello Yello is not caffeinated.[6] It is notable that Mountain Dew in Australia had not been caffeinated until about six months prior to this release. This release therefore returns something similar to the "old" flavor of Mountain Dew to the Australian market.
